Radhanagar Beach,Andaman

One of the best beaches in the world. Unbelievably picturesque, flawlessly astonishing disclosure of nature's splendour can be experienced here. Heavenly peace has dominated the place. There's pin-drop silence for a moment, and there comes a well-mannered wave, 5km long, gently splashing in a beautiful accord, and there's complete silence again till the next one. This splash is the only thing you can hear on the beach. Lush Mahua trees surround the beach, high-spirited, standing tall, as if touching the clouds. You get into the forest and you can't see the sky.Check for elephant ride for 20 rupees!
